WEEKLY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE ADVISORY
At least weekly cleaning is recommended, when the unit has been in use. Regular cleaning prevents mineral scale buildup in the hot water reservoir. It also helps prevent buildup of bacteria, molds or other microorganisms in the tank or system. This ensures that your humidifier will operate at maximum efficiency. (See page 6 for full cleaning instructions.)

HOW YOUR
SLANT/FIN
WARM MIST
HUMIDIFIER WORKS
The model GF-300 and GF-350 humidifier uses a two-step approach to eliminate potentially harmful microorganisms from the water before they are spread with the mist into the air. The first step uses a UV germicidal bulb, located inside the base of the humidifier, that shines on the water through a special glass tube as it passes from the cold water reservoirs to the hot water reservoir. The second step is the boiling action that takes place in the hot water reservoir just before the mist is distributed to the air in the room. These two methods limit the likelihood of harmful microorganisms getting into the atmosphere and being breathed by you, your family and pets.

CONTROL PANEL
POWER SWITCH —
LO AND HI POSITIONS
When the switch is turned to the “LO” or “HI” setting and the unit is plugged in, the power is on. With the unit running in the LO setting, it will be producing vapor at a lower rate than when running in the HI setting.

WARNING: DO NOT use any liquid medication other than those specifically recommended for use with a steam vaporizer or warm mist humidifier. DO NOT pour medication directly into the steam diffuser openings nor add it to the water in the tank or tray.
MINERAL ABSORPTION PAD INSTRUCTIONS Warm mist humidifiers do not spread fine mineral dust into the air that you breathe nor on your furniture, the way that other type humidifiers do. The mineral dust remains trapped in the humidifier hot water reservoir. Use of mineral absorption pads will play a major role in capturing and removing minerals from hot water reservoir, and preventing a stubborn mineral buildup.
1. Before starting humidifier, place mineral absorption pad in the hot water reservoir. After the humidifier has been operating, the water will become HOT, and CAUTION should be exercised when handling mineral absorption pad. It is best to allow humidifier water to cool down, and to use tongs or long tweezers when handling pad.
2. The useful life of the mineral absorption pad will vary, depending on the mineral content of the water used. In areas of moderate mineral content water supply, the mineral absorption pad should be changed after approximately (3) weeks of continuous use. If the water is “Hard Water”, the pad should be changed more frequently. The best way to tell when the pad should be changed is to examine it AFTER the water has cooled down, to see if it is still soft and pliable. When the pad is near the end of its life, it becomes stiff and hard and should be replaced with a new pad. Another sign to change pad is when scale begins to buildup on interior of hot water reservoir.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Water contains minerals and other particles. During operation most of these minerals will remain in the water reservoir. Gradual buildup of deposits will coat the hot water reservoir and reduce its efficiency. The importance of routine cleaning and care cannot be over- emphasized. Hard water contains more minerals and other particles.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Failure to perform the necessary cleaning steps will damage unit. 1. Before cleaning, set CONTROLS to “OFF” position and unplug unit. 2. Remove water tanks from humidifier base, and drain water from tanks. 3. Allow at least 15 minutes after shutting unit “OFF” before moving base.

10. After base is totally cleaned and dried, replace mineral absorption pad. Place steam dome on base by aligning its slots with tabs in base. (You may have to reposition steam dome to other set of tabs, because it will only fit one way.) Rotate steam dome clockwise until it locks. You may want to place scraper in slot in top of steam dome to store scraper when not in use. Place steam diffuser on base so that the slots in steam diffuser line up with tabs on the base. Rotate steam diffuser clockwise until it locks in place.
11. Plug in the unit and resume normal use.
CHANGING THE UV GERMICIDAL BULB
1. If the “REPLACE UV BULB” indicator illuminates during normal use, it is time to change the UV germicidal bulb, which is a special 3.5W bulb.
2. Turn the POWER switch to the “OFF” position, unplug it and allow it to cool.
3. Remove the water tanks from the base of the humidifier. Remove steam diffuser and steam dome by rotating them counterclockwise and lift up.
4. Place the base of the humidifier over the sink and tilt the unit to remove any remaining water.
5. Carefully turn the base of the humidifier over and place it upside down on a flat level surface. You will see a door at front of unit that is closed with two Phillips head screws.
6. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, carefully turn the screws counterclockwise until the screws separate from the door.
7. Open the door, by pulling forward. The UV germicidal light bulb will be visible. Pull the door out the minimum amount to have access to unscrew bulb from socket.
8. Take a replacement 3.5W UV germicidal bulb that you purchased from Slant/Fin Corporation or another supplier and change the bulb. To prolong the life of the bulb, limit your direct contact with the glass of the bulb by using a cloth or tissue to screw it into place.
9. When the new bulb is in place, close the door and replace the screws by using your Phillips head screwdriver and rotating them clockwise until they are just tight. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
10. Turn the unit upright, place the water tanks on top of the base of the humidifier, plug the unit in, and turn the POWER switch to either the LO or HI position. The “REPLACE UV BULB” indicator should no longer be lit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though you will not receive maximum germicidal effects, you can still use your GF-300 and GF-350 humidifier until the replacement bulb arrives.
